Transformation of the coordination complex [Co(C₃S₅)₂]^2- from a molecular magnet to a potential qubit.

ABSTRACT: Mononuclear transition metal complexes demonstrate significant potential in the divergent applications of spintronics and quantum information processing. The facile tunability of these complexes enables structure function correlations for a plethora of relevant magnetic quantities. We present a series of pseudotetrahedral [Co(C₃S₅)₂]^2- complexes with varying deviations from D_2d symmetry to investigate the influence of structural distortions on spin relaxation dynamics and qubit viability, as tuned by the variable transverse magnetic anisotropy, E. To overcome the traditional challenge of measuring E in species where D ≫ E, we employed a different approach of harnessing ac magnetic susceptibility to pr
